MATRIX SWITCHERS

INSTALLING YOUR SWITCHER

6

Step 1.

Stack together the modules that are
required to form a matrix for switching
the desired signals.

Allow 1-U rack space every 4 units for air
circulation. This will reduce heat build up and
will prolong the life of your system.

Step 2.

Connect the 

HOMERUN

 modules

together using the loop control cables
provided with the unit. Always connect
the loop output of the first unit to the
input of the next unit and so on until the
input of the last unit has been
connected.

Step 3

.

Connect power to all modules with the
power cords provided. The power supply
is universal and will work throughout the
world with voltages between 100V-260V.

Step 4.

For video modules, connect cables from
the video sources (computers, VCR,
others) to inputs 1 through 16 and
connect the display devices (i.e.
monitors or projectors) to outputs 1
through 16. For audio modules connect
cables from the audio sources to inputs

1 through 16, and the outputs to audio
receivers.

CAUTION:
All video inputs to HOMERUN Video Modules
are DC coupled for best performance. Even
though the video inputs are fully isolated,
verify with an electrician that all of the
grounding is proper and that GROUND LOOP
problems are minimized. Severe Ground loop
type conditions can damage equipment.
MAXIMUM VIDEO/SYNC INPUT: +/- 5 VOLTS
MAXIMUM AUDIO INPUT: +/- 5 VOLTS

Step 5.

If a control system is used to control the
unit connect the RS-232 port to the
control system or an RS-232 card.
Make sure that the transmit pin of the
control system is connected to the
receive pin of the switcher.

Step 6.

Turn on the power. After a series of
beeps the unit is now operational. You
should observe lit LED’s on the back
panel and a lit power LED on the front
panel. You are ready to either program
your switcher or perform switching from
the rear panel.
